Is Eric Holder a liability for BO? Hardly

Did he perjure himself when he testified to Congress that “he had not been involved in any prosecution of journalists for disclosing government information?” Even though he signed an affidavit requesting a subpoena of a reporter’s personal email records for that very same allegation? If so, is the penalty that he’ll lose his job? Big deal.

Why is it that we can’t seem to tell if high-ranking officials are even lying? If an average citizen tried to parse and weave their way around a similar situation, even in front of a county magistrate (let alone a Congressional investigative committee), the hammer would come down in the blink of an eye. Lose your job? That would be the least of your worries. Pay a fine? Oh, yeah. Go to jail? More than likely.

Yet big fish walk. President Obama still says he stands by his man. Sides are being drawn with many Democrats running for cover while others cry the tired refrain of ‘witch hunt.’ Whatever. He also stands by his woman.

Hillary Clinton signed cables directing the reduction of security at the Benghazi consulate — but she didn’t read it before she signed it — so she’s not culpable in the tragedy that ensued. Surely you can’t expect the secretary of state to be held accountable for signing off on one of many pieces of correspondence requiring her signature? No. The SOS can’t be bothered with such mundane and routine administrative tasks of the office. Her peeps screwed up, not she. She’ll walk away unscathed, and with audacity, run again for the presidency.

The State Department’s internal panel that investigated the affair — put together by Clinton — never questioned Clinton. Special prosecutor Admiral Mike Mullen is no idiot, so one has to wonder what in the world is going on here? Now there’s an investigation of the investigation. Round and round we go, and in the end, Clinton will be judged to have been in the dark and not responsible. Like I said, she’ll run for president. After all (rumor has it), she and Bill made a deal with Barack.

Now our attorney general is in hot water — again. He should have been fired for his ‘Fast and Furious’ gun-running debacle and his subsequent obstruction of the investigation that followed. After destroying thousands of documents related to the operation, he was held in Contempt of Court by Congress. That was unprecedented — but he kept his job.

With his investigation of journalists now under investigation, Eric wants to make amends: He reached out to press bureau chiefs for their input on how his Justice Department might better handle clandestine targeting of their personal phone and email records. In other words, he’s entertaining the idea of freedom of the press. Strictly off the record, mind you.

This is an AG that doesn’t understand the First Amendment, the Second and a few others, and cannot recall what he said or what he did when it comes to his involvement in law breaking. He’s kept around because he does one thing really well — carry out orders.
